Turning a Hotwheels Jeep into an RC 4X4 crawler (with working tracks)

[@russ164lifestyle5]

WOWWWW!!! Talk about Precision and Execution!! This project is from another universe and I think worth all the time spent on it! Definitely one of the most iconic 1/64 scale diecast builds ever made.. And I want to Thank you for using my wheels on this incredible piece of moving art. Keep killing it and inspiring all of us!!

You are a damn pioneer of hot wheels customizing. I cant think of anyone else ever making working DRIVABLE tracks in 1/64. And the fab work on those driveshafts and the steering! The fact that this thing has enough torque to spin the wheels is crazy. And that it doesnt rip itself to pieces when it does. We really need like a 10 minute video of scale crawling with this thing. It looks like a blast to drive. Amazing, as always.

[@TLSGarage]

I really appreciate that! Honestly I almost got carried away driving it and then I realized the video was already over 25 min lol. Definitely considering making a video of it just driving; Its for sure the funnest one that I’ve made so far!

[@nealramsey4439]

@@TLSGarage I would've kept watching if it were an hr long. It was a great job. I like working on small things.

[@jburtraw360]

@@TLSGarage Hey I love your vids and I was wondering if I could buy one from you sometime you set the price I wish I could do this stuff but Don’t have the time or equipment so if you could reply that would be awesome dude have a great day loved your vid sick Jeep!

[@thegamehouse4245]

@@TLSGarage can relate lol I also make stuff like this, except MUCH shittier as i don't have proper tools or resources. The off road ones are much more fun to drive because they can actually go over stuff lol

[@lenahygiena]

there's a really old Matchbox Workhorse bulldozer if I'm not erring, the tracks are just two protruding wheels each side connected by a simple rubber strip

[@Z4MDMUSIC]

my only question tho, is im astonished at how sensitive the springs have to be for such a small scale, this thing blows my mind, i want one!

[@markavellimedina2857]

Right! Didn't even think about that.

[@kregadeth5562]

That wasn’t a question! Haha

[@Z4MDMUSIC]

@@kregadeth5562 lol it was meant to be a question but I worded it into a statement XD

[@ArturHg90]

Springs coming from pen think so 🤔

[@Z4MDMUSIC]

@@ArturHg90 pen springs aren't that sensitive otherwise we could shake the pen closed. If anything they were fabricated specifically for small scale radio control vehicles.

[@MarkAvo]

I can’t be the only one that would spend good money on a 1:64 crawler! Well done.

[@TheBondReport]

This is another level of dedication to the craft. Absolutely insane working in this much detail on this scale. @hotwheels should be hiring you to create premium RC’s as an Engineer. Well done sir.

[@cameronrich2536]

The amount of control you have is wild. Soldering small stuff like that can be a nightmare and you make it look so easy

[@SlickDiecast]

This is sick! True engineering skills!

[@TLSGarage]

I appreciate it bro!

[@johndoe920]

when you said you were planning on doing a 4x4 I didn't expect you to make a crawler with that much detail put into the drivetrain. Hats off, this is amazing. The itty bitty cvd joints, hell yes.

[@VerninTheRat]

Taking it to the next level, for sure! I restore vintage appliances, so I appreciate technicians with high dexterity and innovative prowess - this video here has surpassed my expectations by a considerable amount! I get random youtube recommendations for hot-wheels customs recently (I have no ideal why) but I truly did not expect anything close to as cool as this. I can only imagine that this rare skill-set you've developed for these hot-wheels customs will grant you a namesake that shall be remembered in the hot-wheels customs lore till the ends of time. Happy Holidays and god speed, fellow crafter.

[@6lu5ky86]

You're the reason why I collect little plastic pieces I find everywhere. Some are good from frames, some for bumpers. It's fun to collect and utilize rubbish for custom RCs. They make really good gifts.

[@flyg13]

It's crazy, you really forget just how small the car is while watching you do your thing. Awesome work my friend!

[@Bennyboysgarage_]

@20:11 I was thinking to my self.. it look so much cooler painted… then bam ya painted it. Love this tiny build! And honestly it’s so dang cool you gave this tiny Jeep a cool life. I’m in awe here!

[@alanwright782]

So many things with this… where to start. The music - A+, I enjoyed the build music, camera clarity- A+, building skills - Wow, I’m very impressed at the ingenuity and final product of each piece. I work with sheet metal for a living and what you do, fabrication wise, is brilliant!

[@TLSGarage]

I really appreciate that!

[@perry1055]

Excellent engineering!!! Kudos!!!

[@clydebalcom3679]

The precision and quality is phenomenal. That is a boatload of patience and dedication.

[@ClxpsOnXboxS]

Ha that is the tiniest servo I have ever seen! Keep up the great work tls

[@BPCustomCreations]

Your technical skills are beyond any other builders around, my friend! What a spectacle!

[@KeithOlson]

Absolutely MIND BLOWING! One thing I would suggest is, when showing it in operation, have it interact with common household items like parking beside a banana (for scale), climbing over a smartphone, driving through a toilet paper roll, etc. (Place it on top of the window sill of an actual jeep then zoom out so that the real jeep takes up as much of the video image as the model jeep did, to *REALLY* drive home just how small the model is.)

[@ethanmfv6963]

This dude is absolutely insane. That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen tbh

[@darrylnicholas6691]

The force is strong 💪🏽 with this guy.

[@Mr.Engine993]

I am speechless. I now want to make one too, but I remember that the skills you got are from another universe. Even though I can't build such an admirable work of art, I really get inspired by your unique, detailed and functional builds

[@superjzh]

What an gorgeous piece of model! Want to see it with bigger wheels.

[@I-_-I.]

It is extremely satisfying to watch these videos! perfect job! 🤤😍 a hail from 🇧🇷✌🏻

[@oscar_melendez]

I felt amazed when the lights turned on and the jeep moved by itself!!! You are the best I have seen!!!

[@alishanmao]

man thats some precision work. those tiny parts. you must be working with magnifying glasses. amazing work.

[@TLSGarage]

Thank you! Means a lot coming from you; I have watched your videos for years!

[@alishanmao]

@@TLSGarage its true buddy. I would not dare going close to that tiny parts. such work requires patience, precision and dedication. and you have it all. Keep these amazing videos coming.

[@andrewwillard5625]

You really went from solid suspension drift cars to fully functional crawler with suspension that’s how you know this is just the beginning of the next era of your builds so excited to be here for it.

[@soundmindtv2911]

This is such an awesome build. I love that you show all the detail that goes into it.

[@samcollector3016]

Nice job 👌 Cool custom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like 👍🏼😉

[@vickyorejuela1982]

wooooow your products fascinate me ... he asked me if you would sell amazing rc cars like that ... you earned my like.

[@ulyssessait]

mad respect. having to work with 1:64 scale moreover creating & installing a working 4x4 system in such small scale is very awesome work.

[@guspriyol7211]

you, sir, are borderline insane....love your work

[@migotski]

An astonishing and awesome no. MARVELOUS! You are the man of hotwheels customizing and without a doubt. One of the, if not, the greatest hotwheels customizer EVER.

[@NineteenEighty8]

insanely talented. keep it up brotha. my other favorite die-cast channel is shutting down and you're the only one left who has hella die cast skills.

[@GerardoGalle]

Im amazed at the amount of work you put into this. This turned out incredible

[@NBC_NCO]

Before this, small RC technology existed ... I used to know a guy in Washington state, who would custom build a hotwheels car with custom paint. Then, seal it back up in its original packaging for return. Some lucky person somewhere got a 1 off Hotwheels car. Excellent work.

[@Marz-px6vx]

It's amazing an amazing build. It's very impressive that you made an rc out of a hot wheel that functions.

[@benmisner6457]

Anyone else agree tls is the new king of die-cast. Wow 👌

[@Timberwolf35546]

Amazing build yet again. I'd love to have a custom rc hotwheel to rip around my room and play with my kitten. Have a Chevy cameo pickup that would be perfect. I'd love to have my superbird done but it is a collector's edition I've had since I was a kid.
